Northern Flicker – Icicles – Valentine Dinner

Friday, February 10

I always enjoy seeing a Northern Flicker at our feeders.

This is a male.

The male flicker has a black patch of feathers next to its bill.

When we left the house at 2 pm to go to Costco I noticed the icicles glittering in the afternoon sun.

These were hanging from our house roof.

After spending an hour getting supplies at Costco, we took our time going to RD’s American Grill for a Valentine’s Dinner with Roy and Deb.

I enjoyed the back roads and beautiful farms.

After enjoying the snow-covered scenery, we went to Good’s Store in Quarryville.

I like their Mission Statement: To do a profitable business, to develop people, to serve the public and the community according to Christian principles and to God’s Honor and Glory.

Goods is a general store where you can find shoes and boots, school and stationary items, animal and bird food, clothing, snacks, household items, hardware items, and on and on.

They were having a “black bag special”, which was a fun way to get 20% off anything that fit inside the bag. Nothing could stick out the top.

We found a few things that we didn’t know we needed. 🙂

We got to RD’s fairly early and were ushered to our table.

Deb and Roy arrived shortly after we got there.

I liked the corsage that Roy gave Deb. Notice the raccoon. 🙂
